| The Rivalry: Red Sox v. Yankees There is no other rivalry in sports that compares with that of the Red Sox and Yankees. The hatred between these two great franchises started after the 1919 season. The Boston Red Sox sold the rights to Babe Ruth to the Yankees. At that time the Red Sox had won five championships in 15 years. Little did Red Sox owner Harry Frazee realize that this one move would change the history of two of sports greatest teams. The Yankees went on to win 26 championships after buying the Babe. And the Red Sox waited 86 years until the 2004 season before finally winning again. This 86 year period simply became known as the 'Curse of the Babe.' Highlights of the curse in recent years have focused on two moments. First was Bill Buckner in the 1986 World Series against the New York Mets. A slow bouncing ground ball to first that would have earned the Sox their first championship in 68 years split Buckner's wickets. The Mets rallied, won the game, forced a game seven and won the series. And second in 2003, the Sox held a late lead against the Yankees in game seven of the American League Championship Series. The Yankees tied the game to force extra innings. And in bottom of the eleventh unlikely hero Aaron Boone ended the contest and sent the Yankees to another World Series and the suffering of the Sox continued. Finally in 2004 the Sox overcame the hated Yankees. Down three games to none the Sox rallied in the bottom of the ninth of game four against the best post season closer ever, Mariano Rivera, to send the game to extra innings. And after over five hours the Sox lived to play another game. Three games later and the Sox became the first baseball team to win a series after being down three games to none. The Sox went on to sweep the Cardinals in the World Series and first time in 86 years, the Yankees were looking up at the Sox. The Yankees - Red Sox rivalry is sure to continue this year. |
